so if i look from under the bonnet down between them i should see something?

its a very tight gap

but you can make it out if you look at the right angle

its on a plate, in between the turbos two housings. aka the core

Try a search. The tooth section of the cam gear wears very quickly because it is soft aluminium.

Also whilst you are arsing about with the gears change the belt & think about changing the water pump.

I think you have your wires slightly crossed, the older style of HKS cam gears were indeed prone to tooth wear, but the newer design (current model) are made from the same Duralumin alloy that the Tomei Cam Gears are made from.

Ok now i know ull say search but alot of things goes over my head.

Im about to spend a bit of cash on my GTR and im just after a little advice on wheather im doing the right thing or not and getting the best bang for my buck.

I have a GTR R33

Mods

Trust intercooler

3 1/2 Kakimoto 06&R cat back system

Just Jap front pipe

N1 Steel Turbos (believed)

Blitz PODS

Oil Catch Can

Now im thinking (Ive read and have thought these sounded the best for price) of getting these

Power FC and Controller $ 796

Greddy PRofec B Spec II $ 336

HKS Cam Gears $ 324

Total $1456

Plus tune of course.

Would that all go well together??? Any thing you would change etc....

Advice would be great!

-Install a Supercharger for low RPM then the turbos kick in at the mid high RPM

OR

-Install a NOS Kit

:banana::):(

Just get the boost controller and Power FC controller and/or upgrade the flywheel.

Yeah sorry old info I guess. I saw some over the weekend advertised as duralium.

So I guess they have fixed it.

Million dollar quesrion: How do you pick the difference between the two?

Bought some Tomei cam gears

You need to focus on fuel before you throw money away on things like cam gears. If you really do have N1 turbos and you buy a PowerFC you're going to have your injectors maxed out before you will make much power.

Fuel is the pre-requisite to making power and should be your objective before things like cam gears. Injectors and a fuel pump.

I use SARD injectors and Nismo fuel pumps and recommend them.

Correct about the stock inj...they will be fine for the power you are looking at making. Might be worth getting them flow tested though.

Go the PFC...cam gears....boost control....K&N filter and you should see 250kw at the wheels at around 14-15psi. Just make sure you do indeed have steel wheeled turbos :D

Thanks mate...

Does anyone know are cam gears a defect in SA?

Just got the tomei ones and they look to nice to be hidden, so was thinking a clear cam cover but if there a defect ill keep them hidden... lol

Where do ou get the profec b for 336?

Also you should upgrade your fuel reg. To an adjustable nismo fuel reg one that replaces the oem one so u dont have to max out your injector cylce and u can bump the fuel rail pressure up so it is all safe. There only $200 buks too from memory mate. :wave:

also from memory it possible to make 300kw or close to on n1's with power fc, full exhaust dumps to rear, boost controller, fuel reg, maybe new fuel pump just be safe, small cams + cam gears and bigger front mount BUT most of all it depends on tune and conditon of engine and n1's mate :wave:

    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
    • Everyone wants an ECU they can plug onto their engine, modified or not, and put of the box it just runs perfectly like a brand new modern engine straight off the production line. Too many people just don't understand things like the base maps are as you said, just to give a starting point, and then you need to spend time getting it right for your vehicle.   I wonder if the people wanting it are the same ones who'll just buy a chip for a "stage 2 tune" online and then wonder why their engine blew up...
    • Quite possible! And well worth checking out, as it will be more durable than paint
